Cloud Governance: Focus on FinOps
An overview and mapping of relevant trends related to the Cloud Governance.
Achieving the full benefits of Cloud Computing
A shift to cloud computing often comes with promises of optimized cost efficiency, security, and development time, but without a strong focus on operational and financial management, realizing these benefits may be trickier than expected. Using our SONAR Trend Platform, we created an overview and mapping of relevant trends related to Cloud Governance based on their occurrence within expert media articles, mass media, patents and scientific publications.

The pillars of Cloud Governance
Cloud governance is the foundation for making sure services run smoothly in the cloud, and involves defining, monitoring, and auditing a set of rules, guidelines, and processes by which companies guide their cloud operations. We then grouped topics and trends related to cloud governance into four distinct categories.
Adopting the FinOps Lifecycle model
The FinOps model has become a paradigm for taking back control of cloud cost management, structuring cloud governance, and fostering cloud operations.
MARKET GROWTH OF IT AND CLOUD OPERATIONS
This research focused specifically on the sectors of IT operations management, Cloud operations management, and FinOps, working with PAC (Teknowlogy Group) to track the prospective changes in these markets.
Main lessons learned on FinOps
Implementing FinOps and Cloud Governance requires careful consideration and preparation which addresses all cultural, functional, and operational changes to be made.
